Egg in the Hole as the name suggests a sunny side egg in a bread hole baked or cooked on stove-top. As I have mentioned in my previous posts we (me & hubby) love eggs to be part of our diet. This recipe is easy peasy & also scrumptious for a breakfast. I have used white bread in this recipe but you can make this delicious breakfast with any bread of your choice. I have shared both baked & stove-top methods here. My favorite is stove-top because of it's simplicity.

Baked Version - Pre-heat oven @350F. Spray a baking sheet with oil & keep aside. - Cut bread in a desired shape by using a cookie cutter of your choice. The ideal cutter would be a round one & used the same. - Now lay the bread slices on the baking sheet. Break open egg in one bread hole & repeat the same with rest of the eggs. - Egg white does skid out a little, place the baking sheet in oven right away you finished filling the holes. - Bake for 10mins & remove out of oven. By now eggs are set in place & now evenly sprinkle salt, pepper & cheese on them.-Bake for another another 5mins or till the cheese is settled on bread. This will set the yolk too.- Remove from oven. Cool it on counter top & serve it.Stove-top Version - Heat a pan & add a dollop of butter to pan. - Place cut bread on pan & break open a egg in to the hole. Cook it for few seconds till the egg white is set. Flip bread & cook for few seconds. With this the yellow won't be runny & will be set perfectly.- Now reverse the bread. Sprinkle salt, pepper & cheese on bread. Allow cheese to melt & it hardly takes seconds for cheese to melt as the bread is already hot enough.- Once the cheese is melted remove bread from pan.- Repeat the same with rest of the bread slices & eggs.-Serve warm & enjoy the healthy breakfast.

Omelette in Mug - Yes, you read it right. I made an omelet in mug & it was awesome. I came across this recipe in a food site & decided on trying it. I like the traditional way of making omelet but, this way it reduces the make time & less messy too.This omelette is made of egg whites, but you can also use a whole egg if you like. Egg whites are filled with protein & I love getting protein through food rather than powders. I avoided using oil in this dish & off course you are free to use it. If you want to use oil, grease the mugs with some oil as needed. Using a microwave simplifies & takes less time in cooking. In this dish we microwave it for just 2minutes & the omelette is ready.

Prep Time - 5mins | Cook Time-2minutes | Serves-2peopleIngredients 5Egg whites1/2cup finely chopped onions 1Tsp red chilli powder {cayenne pepper}pinch of turmeric1/4Tsp garam masala powder {optional}Salt to tasteFew coriander leaves to garnishDirections - In a bowl add above ingredients other than coriander leaves. - Mix them well.

Take it out & mix the ingredients. - Now microwave for another 1minute.- If you find any liquid then microwave again.- Garnish with coriander & serve. Note- Microwaving time varies with instrument. Adjust time as needed. - You can add veggies if you like. - Always use bigger mug. - Grease the mugs if you like to. - You can use whole egg with out discarding yellows.

Goa is a smallest state of India. Goa is surrounded with beautiful beaches, which make it a famous attraction world wide. I'm sharing a dish which is a typical goan style dish made of eggs & it was just awesome. I chose it because it's hard to find a meatless dish & also we (me & hubby) love egg curries.

Prep Time-10mins | Cook time-30mins | Serves-2PeopleRecipe Courtesy - Goan Food RecipesIngredients4Eggs1Onion chopped1Tomato chopped2Garlic cloves chopped1Tbs oil 1Cup water1/2Cup coconut milk1Tsp chili powderSalt to tasteCoriander leaves for garnishFor masala paste 6Red chilis 1Tsp cumin1Tsp coriander1Tsp fennel 2Tbs grated coconut1Tsp tamarind pulpwaterDirections - To start grind all the masala ingredients to smooth paste by adding little water.- Now heat a pan with oil. To that add onion & chopped garlic. - Cook onion to translucent & to that add tomatoes & cook them till they are done.- Now add the masala paste to pan. Stir fry till the masala becomes thick.- Add water, salt & chili powder to pan. - Now break one egg at a time directly in to pan while keeping a distance from one another. - Close it with a lid & cook till the eggs are cooked perfectly. - Now add coconut milk to pan. stir slightly to cover up the eggs. Adjust the taste if needed. - Cook curry on a low heat until it becomes thick. Once it's done switch off heat & garnish with coriander leaves. Note: - If you feel this curry is too spicy then omit adding 1Tsp chili powder at last. - The color of this curry should be red & I believe the red chili's are at fault for not getting the color.

Mini omelette are yummy little omelette's which can be enjoyed as appetizer's or as a snacks. I wanted to make this dish healthy & made of mostly with egg whites & a small amount of yolk. Any addition of vegetables or spices makes this omelette more flavor.

Kimchi egg drop soup is packed with nutrients & proteins that we need on a daily basis. The soup tasted delicious with fermented juices of kimchi & the broken egg whites. I made it with left over cucumber kimchi I made few weeks back. You can replace this with a store bought or any home made kimchi.

Talking about poached egg they are just yummm to me.Aren't they ??? Call me crazy or whatever I Lovee Eggs...Just not that I do research on different recipes based with them too.While one of the researches I came across this Libyan recipe "Shakshouka". This is very much similar to Indian egg gravy but instead of boiled egg we add raw egg to pan & allow it to cook with the curry juices & steam.

Once tomatoes are cooked add cumin powder & chilli powder along with 1/2 cup of water. Bring it to boil & break eggs directly in to pan.. Allow them to cook for 3 mins & switch off heat. Garnish it with coriander leaves & curry is ready to serve.

* Serve with rice or roti...

Note:

1. If you want to you can cook them for some more time for a hard boiled yolk.

Long back when were moving from guest house to a apartment in Korea, I was too tired to make dinner because of all the shopping to the new home. Then my sweet hubby made me a beautiful dinner that I can never forget. He made few hard boiled eggs and sprinkled them with pepper & salt. Oh.. I just can't forget how yummy they were.. :) Though it is the most easiest thing you can do, but for me it is so precious.

Coming to the curry the fried boiled eggs are dipped in a tomato coconut gravy along with garam masala powder & topped with cilantro. You can use either hard boiled or poached eggs for this curry.

Fried Eggs- Mean while heat another pan with 1tsp oil & a pinch of turmeric. - Then add boiled eggs & fry them for few seconds. - You can see some few blisters & also a nice crust will be formed on eggs.- Switch off heat & allow them to cool. - Later cut the eggs in to half vertically as shown above in the curry. Making Curry- Heat a pan with 1Tbs oil and add cumin to it. - After few seconds add add onions & ginger garlic paste to pan. - Fry them till onions are translucent.- To the pan add tomatoes & cook with a closed lid. Cook tomatoes till they have turned soft. - Add turmeric, salt, garam masala & chili powder. - Add the coconut paste too pan & mix them well. - Adjust salt & spiciness if needed.Cook for 5mins on low heat.- Now add the fried eggs to pan & cook them for few seconds in the gravy.- Switch off heat & garnish with coriander leaves at end.***Serve with rice, naan or roti.
